Exanima

Exanima is a category of isometric role-playing games on PC, in which the camera is fixed above the character, but can be zoomed in for a detailed look at objects and objects, and also removed for more convenient battles. This project exploits the theme of the dark Middle Ages, so the arsenal of the player-controlled character consists mainly of ranged and remote melee weapons (bows, crossbows, throwing spears). In terms of complexity and darkness, this RPG can be equated to Dark Souls, adjusted for the top view.

The peculiarity of the game lies not in the setting, leveling, weapons or armor, but in the realistic model of physical interaction, which literally applies to everything. Physics is everywhere, and it works differently everywhere. For example, objects surrounding the player, such as boxes, barrels and others, break when hit. Doors, in turn, are opened by hovering over them, holding down the mouse button, and dragging the mouse up or down, simulating real-life interaction.

Physics in Exanima is also present in battles. For example, in order to deliver a more noticeable kick to the enemy, the main character must take a slight acceleration, but in this case the character may stumble and fall. Using the same principle, you can knock down some doors and cause damage to the enemies standing behind them. Enemies, by the way, can be thrown off a cliff or pushed onto a metal stake sticking out of the wall.
